Specification ofLetters Patent.

Application filed February 26, 1910. Serial No. 546,100.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BENET F. McMaHoN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Beattie, in the county of Marshall and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Oil- Burners, of which the f0 lowing is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to oil burners, espe= cially adapted for burning crude oil, and the principal object of the same i to provide a novel type of oil distributer and cooperating spreader cap and overflow pan, all of which mutually contribute to produce a burner in which a thorough combustion of the fuel is obtained with the resulting increase in the heat generated by the burner.

In carrying out the objects of the invention generally stated above it will be understood, of course, that the essential features thereof, are necessarily susceptible of changes in details and structural arrangements, one

. preferred and practical embodiment of which all) is shown in the accompanying drawings, whcrein:

Figure 1 is a central vertical sectional view of the improved oil burner. Fig. 2 is an inverted perspective view of the-oil distributer. Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the oil distributer viewed from the top thereof.

The improved burner is equally adapted for use in connection with. a heating or cooking stove, and comprises an overflow pan 1" that is suitably attached to a support 2 within a firebox of a stove so thatthe pan will be rigid with said support. (lhe pan may be annular or other shape to adapt it to the type of firebox i nwhich it is mounted and is provided with a central air opening 3 that is surrounded by the upstanding guard flange The support 2 is provided with an opening 5 that alines with the opening 3 of the pan 1 so that the air will have an unobstructed circulation throu h said opening 3.' y

at substantially .rusto comically shaped fuel distributing plate 6 has a flat top 7 through which a threaded opening 8 is The inclined upper surface of plate (3 is provided with a plurality of regularly spaced apart supporting lugs 10 preferably eu'ranged' in radiating relation to the center of said plate, said lugs serving as supports to retain the flame deflecting oapll over and spaced from plate 6. Said cap is provided with a pendent outer flange 12 that inclines outwardly.

A fuel supply pipe 13 equipped with a controlling valve 14: extends through the air openings of support 2 and pan 1 and has a threaded engagement with the opening 8 of plate 6. p

Plate 6 overlaps the upper end of guard flange 4 and is dished on its under-surface,

so that fuel which flows down the inclined outer surface of said plate (3 is prevented from flowing around the lower edge thereof and dropping through the air supply openings 3 and 5.

In use, fuel is fed through pipe 13 to the top surface of. plate 6 and flows down the inclined portion thereof and is caught in pan 1. The fuel being ignited on plate 6, it will be seen that cap 11 becomes highlyheated so that the subsequent fuel is vaporized. The flame from the burning fuel is deflected by cap 11 and spreads around the lower edge of the flange 12 of said cap, and meets the air that flows over the upper edge of guard flange 4. v

What I claim as my invention is An oil burner comprising a pan provided with a central air opening, an upstanding guard flange surrounding said air opening, a distributor plateprovided with notched legs ada )ted for interlocking engagement with said flange to space said plate in-overlap ping relation tosaid flange, said plate being provided with a flattened central upper portion having an opening formed therethrough, lugs carried by the inclined upper surface of said plate, a spreader cap supported by said lugs in spaced overlapping relation to said plate, and a fuel feedingpipe having one end connnunicating with the central opening of said plate.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
